Principal Leadership Self-Assessment

Principal Leadership Self-Assessment

How consistently is your leadership visible in practice?

Rate eight observable leadership behaviours. The score updates instantly and is intended for reflection, not for personality profiling.

1. Instructional Leadership

I spend enough time understanding what is happening in classrooms and student learning.

2. People Leadership

I address underperformance fairly and directly while recognising meaningful contribution.

3. Decision-Making

I separate evidence from assumptions before important decisions and explain reasoning when appropriate.

4. Culture

I model professional behaviour and address humiliation, favouritism and divisive conduct.

5. Governance & Strategy

I can explain the school’s priorities simply and connect operational decisions to educational purpose.

6. Delegation

I delegate outcomes with clear authority and accountability rather than retaining every approval.

7. Developing Other Leaders

I intentionally build the capability of coordinators, HODs and future school leaders.

8. Personal Sustainability

I protect enough time for prioritisation, reflection and thoughtful high-stakes decision-making.
